IFOCE Discourages Home Training

Recent rumors of home training remind one that the IFOCE officially discourages all home training, urging eaters and prospective eaters to prepare for future contests at sanctioned events, all of which are overseen by emergency medical personnel.

The IFOCE website is very clear on this issue and the IFOCE position is in line with the IFOCE policy of safety first. According to the IFOCE, the health and well-being of the eaters is the most important consideration.
